Edit for reasoning-I tend to enjoy mean spirited funny stuff sometimes. Creators are typically kind of shitty/immoral people but I still enjoy it. I feel conflicted sometimes but still end up watching and enjoying.

Wait what? ... fucking hell man. I think there's levels to me no longer watching an artist's work ...

Some, I just overlook or if the stories aren't substantiated or major. Child porn is just something else ... man, I really like Kenshin too.

Yeah I'm really sorry you had to learn it here. At least Oda and Araki are still cool

[–] guy@piefed.social 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn't Oda friends with a paedophile and aware of it?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like it. In total fairness, he didn't say the pedophilia was cool, he just enjoyed working with the guy. Also it's Japan, so he's gonna have to work alongside pedophiles at some point

Yeah 😄 This is where putting boundarys becomes interesting. Do we avoid Oda as well?

Yeah, it's hard to draw a line, which is why for me it's just a matter of whether the artist puts me off the work entirely or not. I can watch One Piece without my mind interrupting me about Oda being kinda problematic. But I can't, for example, read Sandman without thinking of all the rapin Gaiman did.

And sorry if anyone is learning about ol Rapin Gaiman here
